requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is
required. A time delay fuse is recommended.
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not remove ground
prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
wWARNING: Improper
grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet
near the microwave oven.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance has a short power supply cord
to reduce the risk of anyone tripping over or
becoming entangled in the cord. The microwave
oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
microwave oven.

Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the
basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you
use your oven.
How your microwave oven works
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It
causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks
the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. You
cannot see them, but you can see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The
microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it
turns on the turntable.
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves
pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics
without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not
absorb the energy.

ENGLISH
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
Magnetron
Oven cavity
Metal floor Glass turntable
For the best cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If
needed, touch Add Minute while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using
add minute” section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes.
This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic
wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a
qualified electrician check your electrical system.

ENGLISH
Cookware guide
Most heat resistant, nonmetallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test
cookware before using,follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup (250ml) water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Operating safety precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food can make the
container hot.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming
the oven, put a container of water in the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has
been running for a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows
microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely. The
turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your
turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or
breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.
• When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3 ⁄16 inch above the turntable.
Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst,
and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have
been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain
containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out
with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can
harm you or damage the microwave oven.
• Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or
baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate
deep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm
because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5
minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
11
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount of food
• If you increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will
also change. For example, if you double a recipe,
add a little more than half the original cooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more
time in small increments.
Starting temperature of food
• The lower the temperature of the food being put
into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.
Food at room temperature will be re-heated more
quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.
Composition of food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated
faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and
sugar will also reach a higher temperature than
water in the cooking process.
• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. “Very dense” food like meat takes longer to
heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge
cakes.
Size and shape
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger
pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more
evenly than different-shaped pieces.
• With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.
Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in
the center of the dish.
Stirring, turning foods
• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to
the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the
outer edges of the food.
Covering food
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Keep food moist
You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass
through. See “Getting to Know Your Microwave
Oven” for materials that microwaves will pass
through.
Releasing pressure in foods
• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,
sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up
under the membrane during cooking, causing the
food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent
bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a
fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand either in or out of oven
after cooking power stops.
defrosting and cooking allows
cooking results. For inside oven standing time, you
can program " 0 " power sencond stage of the
cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.
• The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take it to
the serving table. However, with large, denser food
the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Standing time after

food, improving the
Arranging food
For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You
can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring
pattern for uniform cooking.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the
smaller or thinner area of the food towards the
center of the dish where it will be heated last.
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the
skin – this prevents cracking.
• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides
of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing.
Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the
oven interior.
Using aluminum foil
Metal containers should not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you
have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on
the package. When using aluminum foil containers,
cooking times may be longer because microwaves
will only penetrate the top of the food. If you use
aluminum containers without package instructions,
follow these guidelines:
